First depends on the file system Secdly, See properties for the Norton unerase bin, - you set on a global, and/or per drive basis Tirdly doesn't work for anything but local fixed drives media Forfth Norton has a limit of 1500 files per drive - when it reaches that it slows the system down as it locates the oldest on the current 1500 entries so it can release that to record another file
Now - to your problem - if the files were on a server, then it depends on what backup process was running on the server, Some run a 'shadow' facility that keeps a copy of every updated file by copying the original when asked to open a file for update. or to delete the file Others will have been configured to rely on the daily backup Others will require you to call and ask the support guys to restore the overnight/latest copy of a file But call ASAP before they run an overnight clear-out JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Gundersen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 11, 2006 5:18 PM Subject: Soft - OS: WHere does windows put deleted files from a.... Hi folks If I delete a file 'normally' and it's not too big Windows XP will put it in the trash can. I one is running Norton it will go in the 'protected' trash can - just in case I want it back. Now yesterday I accidentally - god know how as I was on one file - deleted the whole contents of a folder some 85 files. Go to trash can and get them back - not there? No! they would have fitted easily. Then I realized that the drive I was on was a networked mapped drive so I then went to the server machine and looked there - Nothing! Does anyone know where Windows XP might have put these deleted files. On the machine I was working on as a mapped drive or the parent computer. Where did they go - Norton couldn't find any trace of protected, deleted files anywhere. Weird??????????????
